a Name of branch refers to those in Fig. 1

b ω+ (dN/dS) for positively selected sites along the branch estimated using branch-site REL (Kosakovsky Pond and Frost 2005)

c P-value for episodic positive selection along the branch corrected by the Holm–Bonferroni method

d Proportion of sites along the branch inferred to show positive selection using branch-site REL

e ω3, tests for positive selection of the branch joining alleles 1 and 2 using BUSTED under the null hypothesis of neutrality (Murrell et al. 2015). For the helicase-like gene, this test is between alleles 1 and 2 only in C. parasitica
